Highlights for Ricoh BB-HPL10A-R High Definition Power Line Communications Ethernet Adaptor

Take advantage of high-speed Ethernet network communications by leveraging the electrical system in your office building or home office to send data. The RICOH BB-HPL10A-R High Definition Power Line Communications Ethernet Adaptor (HD-PLC) is an easy and affordable way to build a secure local area network without investing in cables or wireless hardware. Share data, print files, send e-mails, and access the Internet simply by plugging into the nearest power outlet!

Network Features

Connect any printer, modem, router, computer or scanner to an Adaptor, and plug it into any power outlet in the building

Share information and peripheral devices among all users, and access the network from anywhere inside the electrical system

Move devices without reconfiguration  switch printer and PC locations in a flash, change conference rooms instantly, or quickly turn any room with an outlet into a workspace

Every AC power outlet is a potential network access point  no need for cabling between conference rooms, classrooms or home offices.

Expand the system whenever needed with up to 16 total terminals (1 must be designated as the Master Adaptor).

"Closed" network for added security. Only devices connected through registered Terminal Adaptors may communicate with the Master Adaptor.
